I joined AAA, and always get a flatbed to bring it to the shop. It has never been towed. I have AAA JUST FOR THE ZR-1 [emoji108]

I have always used a rollback flatbed for my Corvettes when needed.

I agree with Big John

Flatbed or rollback trucks are the safest way to tow a vehicle.

The older hook and chain tow trucks are mainly used for junk automobiles and wrecked automobiles, because when transporting those vehicles additional damage to the bumper, etc doesn?t matter.

Wheel-lift tow trucks are not as safe and protected as flatbed tow trucks.

American Automobile Association it is Club Insurance for if you break down away from home; they will pay to have your car delivered to shop, garage or your home.
They change a flat tire or give you a jumpstart if needed.

Ah...ok...i understand...
In Italy there Is a voice in every insurance policy that Is "tow truck" and if you want you can pay It. If you Need It you can call and the tow truck come, It can move the car at home or in the most near shop. There are a lot of Company of tow truck, i dont think there Is a single Company...
